If you remove the bolts the holes are open directly into the cavity of the cover and will be a huge boost leak right at the turbo.

Have you paid attention to nothing that was said in this thread?So what all would I need to put this turbo on my talon? My stock turbo just went out today. Can I bolt this turbo on with the exception of new coolent oil lines, and a j pipe? Is there other 20g's I could get besides the buscher one?
I made an adapter plate today to install a holset 20 psi actuator. Much better boost control. Hits about 30, and holds about 28 to redline with my current setup, loads more fun.
In case anyone doesn't know. When you run more than about 25 psi, it will surge horribly below 4000 rpm's. I just make sure to not punch it below 4k.
Wouldn't tb/intake manifold/cams help this?
Fully built car, only thing i don't have on it is a smim. If i only run 20 psi it's ok. The 20g compressor just can't do 30+ psi on a 2 liter at 3500 rpm's.
Ahh gotcha. When I had a srt4 I had that issue - hopefully I won't run into to many problems with my 20g...it doesn't have the same compressor cover like that FP turbo does.
^^^Nice as always Steven!
Let me guess. You had surge issues because you were running a stock td04h turbine wheel with something big on the other end . That's why you had surge with a 2.4 litre, right?
Yeahhhhhh that would be the one - that little turbo took a harsh beating though. I actually put the boost controller on my td05h 20g last night and stopped around 22psi - you can hear it surge just a tiny bit around 4k ish then it goes away.
That's kinda how it's been for me - I've been on wastegate pressure for the past week or so, so 10psi until it creeps to 20psi. However - I'm going to enjoy this turbo for a while as I've decided to go HX40/external gate - hopefully within the next 2 or 3 weeks I'll be on that setup. I still love this 20g though.
I am wondering if i should switch to the 7cm housing, i have the hahn 20g kit with the 10cm housing and lags like mad. i only run 20 psi and it does not full spool to about 4200RPM, then pulls like mad.
ported 2g manifold, spacer, T3 plate adapter, AVCR. Bought a cyclone manifold hoping it would help some but have not put it on yet.
I'm very interested in this turbo and running it with a T3 mani, I would like to hear more about that since obviously it was the way the turbo was meant to be run IMO. What o2 housing is used with the T3 exhaust housing??
Here's a pic if it helps anyone. We ran an FP20g way back when, and I adapted a DSM style actuator to it by making an adaptor plate that bolted to the compressor housing. This allowed me to position it down low like the 14b/16g so the rod had the same pre-load and angle on the flapper arm. This setup worked flawlessly holding boost as high as 28psi to 7k and ran 11.0 @ 126. Putting the actuator low also allows more fan clearance.
What turbine housing did you use on this 20g?
so I suggest if you want the most out of this turbo get the fp race manifold, 8cm turbine housing or a clipped turbine wheel, and cams.
